Conditional sixth round, if I heard right. That's pretty cheap.He lead the Swiss league in scoring last year and now is in 4th place in the AHL with 29 points in 29 games, so it's not like he can't play hockey. Never really got a fair chance in Edmonton.

Small, slow, can't (won't) play defense, has cleared waivers in the past.. frankly I'm a little surprised he returned anything - although if he can't crack the Sabres lineup, he probably won't return anything.

One of their other guys meeting that description was injured last night and may be out for a bit. Timing is impeccable.

Bunch of chumps.

I don't think anyone on this group would not have supported Bert getting 20 games. But, the league basically threw him under the bus, by giving him the longest suspension in history. And they let the media blow what was a big deal into a "story of the century". If Orpik had a chipped vertebrate, would Thornton have been suspended the rest of this year, and all of next year too??

Yep. And someone will be dumb enough to offer him $4-$4.5M after this season. Hopefully it's Toronto.

Well when u have GMs willing to take on long term contracts at 4.2 million per in David Booth nothing surprises me, that being said we all know that MayRay's next contract will not come anywhere close to $4.5 million per. If he continues with his good play he will get somewhere around $2.5 million to $3 million per

If only David booth had MayRays skill set, on ice vision, phone booth stick handling, speed with the puck. Great passing, cycling, turn on a dime stick handling we'd have a player.
